Chalk it up as a lesson learned.Michael nailed it- is there a secondary document that listed out what that agreed upon frequency for discussions/ questions was? 

Tenant shall not permit the pet to bark, howl or otherwise emit noises in such a level, frequency or time as to disturb others."

Depends on the strength of the sound wave, the frequency, the material between the source and the listener, the proximity of the listener to the source, etc.

Call around to find out how much it costs and the frequency, then depending on where you live budget for ~6 months (again ask the company and add a bit) with the tenant paying throughout the year. 

My top three criteria in the following order.1) Initial Cost2) Cost & frequency of maintenance required3) aesthetics Should I consider any other criteria before making my decision?

Granted, I don't know what kind of granite it is, but I rarely see chips larger than a dime in even the most fragile exotic granite held together by epoxy treatments.These chips and their regrettable frequency are the main reason I don't like the idea of putting granite countertops with undermounted sinks into any rental, however high-end.If you can't repair the chip with this product and you have to call in someone with the skill to fix this crack well, you're really in a damned-if-you-do and damned-if-you-don't position.

Getting my direct mailers ready to send tomorrow.Plan to send another email tomorrow morning, followed with a RVM in the afternoon and then calls in the evening.My question is regarding the frequency and type of communication. 

If the frequency of distributions is important to you, remember to double-check what the operator is doing (and did) during COVID.

What is the preferred frequency/medium of communication?

I guess I also don't have a great sense of your expected income amount and frequency.
